Babies: 0 - 3 Months

How often do/did you bathe your 1mo

We've been giving DS a bath every third day.  We hadn't had any issues with him, until today.  Today he was due for a bath anyways but gosh, he literally stinks!! I feel awful that he got this way.  It's not like he's been running in the yard playing with the dog or anything.  We just hang around and sometimes go run errands. I'm thinking about moving to every other day...

  • Every two or three days; however, if I had had a one month old in the middle of summer where I live it probably would have been more often.

  • milo is a month old too and we've started giving him a bath every night. it really calms him down before bed and i think he sleeps better! we use johnson's foaming baby wash and then lather him up w. johnson's sleepy time lotion. he actually really likes the bath now - phew! we also make sure to scrub under his neck bc it's where all of his drool, spit up, etc. ends up getting stuck. when it smells we call him cheese neck :-)
  • The water here is so hard so we try and only do every third day but sometimes I do every other day since it is needed more sometimes.  Soon we will go with every other day all the time though since it is just now getting hot here.  I will take a warm washcloth and wipe her down really good on days she doesn't get a bath so no issues of her smelling.  Oh and her hair is long and gets washed at the sink almost daily. 
  • Every other day for us. If he sweats a lot though or is visablly dirty I will give him one that day.

    Yeah, we did every other day and if I felt DS had sweat a lot that day, I'd just take him in the shower w/ me and rinse him off.

  • We bathe Ava every night...she spits up a lot and it's part of her bedtime routine...I always lather her up with lotion after so she doesn't get dry skin.

  • We bath DS every other night.  We will bath him more often if he has a major diaper blow-out or there is some other reason.

  • Every other day unless he has a poop accident or smells of spit or vomit.

  • DS is not 1 mo yet, but he's getting his bath every night, I think we skipped once. He likes the water and his hair gets very oily every day ..

  • At a month old we bathed every other night, but at about 2 months I started making bath part of our bedtime routine. ?Body washed, hair washed, hair combed, and body lathered in the bedtime J&J lotion. ?I really think it helps him relax and sleep better at night.
